Why Matcha Tea Should Be Part Of Your Beauty Regime

No longer are they
the only veggie that’s beneficial for your complexion.

There’s another kid
on the block –matcha tea.

Matcha tea is like a
green tea on steroids – not that this is a bad thing. Far from it. Matcha is
created from high quality, pure green tea leaves, which are crushed to form
powder. This is then consumed by adding hot (not boiling) water or milk to it.

Unlike other forms of
tea, nothing is wasted with matcha tea and it is far more potent than green tea
is alone.

But drinking the
stuff is only one thing you could do with it. If for some strange reason you
don’t like it, you can still get some of its health benefits by wearing it.
That is to say, putting the powder on your skin.

In fact, there are
lots of reasons to make matcha tea not only part of your breakfast, but also
part of your beauty regime.

GREEN MATCHA TEA FOR YOUR HAIR

You may be surprised
to learn that you can wash your hair in green tea – and that includes matcha
green tea!

Because of its
powerful antioxidant properties, both green tea (and the far superior
antioxidants found in matcha tea) make a great treatment for anyone with flaky,
itchy scalps.

Both green and matcha
tea shampoos exist, as a treatment for dandruff.

However, because of
the drying qualities of the tea, it is advisable to use a nourishing
conditioner afterwards on your hair.

MATCHA TEA TO MINIMIZE REDNESS

If you have skin
which is prone to redness and chafing, then a matcha mask might be just your
cup of tea!

This is because matcha tea is an anti
inflammatory and helps to soothe the skin.

It may also be used
for the treatment of rosacea.

MATCHA TEA COULD HELP TREAT ACNE

Great news for acne
sufferers. For skin prone to breakouts, utilizing a matcha tea powder on the
skin can help treat spots and acne.
